Thanks for putting the failures in perspective. I think my biggest challenge on that front is to represent the time I spend on those projects without showcasing the failure or leaving a time gap on the resume. Also, it would be great to be able to represent the "intangibles" that come with startup experience.
- tptacek 17y agoIf at any point you've operated a sole-proprietorship or LLC with an actual documented name, you should list the earliest justifiable start time and the latest justifiable end time for it, allowing it to span the periods where you worked at your least-successful startups. Demote those startups from standalone entries in your resume to bullets (at most) in your IvyIrwin, LLC entry.

- ivyirwin 17y agoThanks for the offer. But in the spirit of HN, this question is for all of the self-employed people out there that might one day need to put together the ol' resume.
